155 Burpees ✔

+ 15 more to get a decent sequence pic

  and 200 one armed Kettlebell Swings, but those are cake compared to burpees!

  The full workout went like this (more info here): 10 sets of~ 10 Swings with Right Arm, 10 Swings with Left Arm, Burpees starting with 20 on the first set and decreasing 1 each time ending with 11 on the last set.
                   
      OUCH.

    I've actually attempted this work twice since it was posted on Friday, but quit both times in the first round.  My muscles were not rested enough for it.  The first time I tried to do it after 20 minutes of running stairs.   My thighs yelled at me.  Today was the perfect day for this coming after a day of rest (besides last nights push-ups, but I think push-ups can be done daily).

    The BodyRock site also has an awesome community of people from all over performing the workouts and then posting their times.  Reading so many peoples comments on completing the workout whether it took them 20 mins or over an hour gave me the inspiration and determination to get it done!



Total Time:  26:35

 Many of my burpees were far from pretty, but this workout was much more about mental toughness than perfect form.  In fact I had to step up from the push-up (as opposed to hopping up) quite a few times.  

 Still a sweaty success :D
